[edit] Trivia
- Seven members of Reba McEntire's band and her road manager were among ten people who died in a March 16, 1991 plane crash near San Diego, California. There was a minor controversy over her decision to perform on the Academy Awards a week after the crash. But, she appeared on the show to dedicate the nominated song, I'm Checking Out, from the film Postcards From the Edge, to her fallen band members. During the performance, McEntire was visibly emotional, holding back tears. Ultimately, she earned the respect and affection of her peers for her decision and her stoic toughness and perseverance.
